Your First Deep Look Inside Scarpetta

Yes, the winds of change are blowing strong in Beverly Hills, and they bring the wafting scent of pumpkin
soup, pasta and Italian awesomeness from New York…

Introducing a sprawling new home of decadent Italian feasts: Scarpetta opens tonight in the Montage
hotel.

Offhand, there are at least three reasons you’ll be booking a table here soon. 1) You’re meeting her
parents for the first time. 2) You’re making the reservation, but your boss is paying. 3) You’ve got
dinner with Grazer coming up, and you heard he’s thinking sequel.

So here’s how it’ll go―before you check in, settle into the intimate lounge for a round of Negronis to
shake off any lingering traffic trauma. Relax. You’re on a comfortable purple couch in Beverly Hills,
about to enjoy a pretty expensive dinner. Life isn’t so bad.

Then you’re ready for your table in the
soaring dining room. Before a wall of well-stocked wine cabinets, you’ll feast onPoached Mediterranean Octopus… and Duck and Foie Gras
Ravioli… and Pancetta-Wrapped Veal Tenderloin.

And the kitchen itself is fancier than most restaurants’ dining rooms. So if you like, you can book a
party of five at the marble counter right in the middle of it.
